Abstract
Copper salts of 2-hydroxypyridine-N-oxides have been demonstrated to possess an ability to alter the metabolic pattern in the digestive tract of food producing animals to make energy producing metabolic units which are more available for absorption by the animals. The copper salts, such as cupric 2-hydroxypyridine-N-oxide, are active ingredients in feed compositions and methods for increasing growth and feed efficiency of these animals.
